The vintage Mott tub from a second floor bathroom is going back in.

Weight difference between sample and original tubs: about 1000 lbs.

who we are

We are a couple of Upper West Siders from NYC who never set out to buy an old mansion in Connecticut. But the moment we walked through its massive front door, we were smitten.
